When it comes to a synth, the number and type of sounds available is a top concern. Roland packed the JUNO-Gi with over 1,300 sounds covering a huge array of instruments and styles. And if you’re a gigging musician, you’ll dig the Live Sets. Layer up to four sounds by stacking or splitting tones and save them together as a Live Set. Plus, a Special Live Set section dives in deep to take full advantage of the JUNO-Gi sound engine, giving you the most advanced synth sounds possible!

But of course, a gigging keyboard is only worth its salt if it’s easy to move. Not only is the JUNO-Gi a snap to schlep from gig to gig (it’s very lightweight), but you can run it on batteries too! Imagine how easy it would be to take your battery-powered JUNO-Gi synth and a battery-powered BA-330 keyboard amp to the gig. And you could play just about anywhere. Throw out a tip jar and rock on the corner! Be ready in an instant for an impromptu coffee house gig. The world will be your oyster!

As if this wasn’t enough reason to click “Add to Cart,” the JUNO-Gi is also a full-functioning 8-track digital record (2-track simultaneous recording, 8-track playback). You’ve got guitar/mic/line inputs so you can record nearly anything, and a 32GB SDHC card (not included) can hold up to 192 hours of recording (that’s a lot!). Of course, you’ve got full import/export support for transferring files to and from a computer and the same effects built into BOSS’s GT series are onboard to handle spicing up your tracks.

When you combine the JUNO-Gi with the bundled Cakewalk Sonar LE 8.5 software, you have a complete digital audio workstation package for your PC. In addition, the MIDI Controller Mode lets you operate the JUNO-Gi as a MIDI master keyboard for controlling your DAW or external MIDI devices. The JUNO-Gi is a powerhouse of a synth, with everything else just being icing on the cake.
